Odin Space

Odin Space operates a network of space-based acoustic impact detectors designed to characterize orbital debris smaller than one centimeter. The core technology consists of Nano Sensors that record the time, location, size, velocity, and trajectory of fragments as small as 0.1 mm. These sensors function as forensic instruments to capture data on debris invisible to ground-based tracking systems. The technology achieved flight heritage in 2023 aboard a D-Orbit orbital transfer vehicle and currently supports the deployment of commercial-grade sensors. These payloads are integrated onto third-party spacecraft or deployed as part of a distributed network of scout satellites to provide real-time collision analysis and failure diagnostics for assets in low Earth and geostationary orbits.

The company operates a cloud-based data platform that translates sensor observations into orbital monitoring services, including pre-launch reconnaissance and continuous in-orbit tracking. Odin Space provides collision risk assessments and debris environment analytics to satellite manufacturers, operators, and space agencies. Through partnerships with international insurers and brokers, the company uses verified impact data to support specialized insurance products, such as collision-only policies intended to reduce premium costs. Headquartered in London with facilities at Space Park Leicester, the company operates under a subscription-based business model for data services and the sale of sensor hardware. Recent expansion efforts focus on scaling these data services and deploying sensors to quantify risks in increasingly congested orbital environments.
